Because I so enjoy reading his column, I am always happy to see Dr. Erik Steele’s face on the Op-ed Page of the Bangor Daily News. His Dec. 23 column was especially poignant.

I was not able to stem the tears as I read about the gifts his young patient received in the emergency room. However, while reading it, I wondered – as a regular blood donor – did he receive my gift?
